What holds the screen in place on a screen door?

• <div><p>The screen on many screen doors is held in place by screen spline. Screen spline is typically a thin vinyl tubing that fits into the groove of the door’s frame and holds the screen in place. To install the spline on a screen door, you’ll need a spline roller—a tool that presses the spline and screen into the door’s narrow groove. Note that old spline can crack and break, so replacing your screens is a good time to replace the spline, too. </p></div>

Do window screens help keep the heat out?

• <div><p>Window screens can help keep some heat out of your home, which is one benefit of using them in summer. It’s also the reason experts suggest removing your screens in winter—so it’s easier for the sun’s warmth to filter into your home. This will keep you cozier and potentially reduce your heating bills.</p></div>

Can you add a screen door to any door frame?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add a screen door to most door frames. The screen should be able to fit standard-size door frames, so unless you have an unusually sized door, you shouldn’t have an issue. Just make sure to properly measure the frame. When in doubt, it’s best to let a pro take care of this task for you so it’s installed correctly.</p></div>

What are solar screens?

• <div><p>Solar screens use a thick mesh of polyester to block out the UV waves and solar heat. While they are more expensive at about <b>$7.50 per square foot</b>, they can protect your porch or hardwood floors from sun damage and keep the room or porch on the other side of the patio cool.</p></div>
